[other] Get path for programdata in plugin (1 Viewer)

[pilehave]

Hi

In earlier versions before the plugins were moved, I used this code to find the installpath. How do I find the ProgramData path instead? Both for Vista and XP....

        private string GetMediaPortalPath()
        {
            string sRegRoot = "SOFTWARE";
            if (IntPtr.Size > 4)
                sRegRoot += "\\Wow6432Node";

            RegistryKey MediaPortalKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(sRegRoot + "\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\MediaPortal\\", true);
            if (MediaPortalKey != null)
            {
                return MediaPortalKey.GetValue("InstallPath").ToString();
            }
            else
            {
                MediaPortalKey = MediaPortalKey.OpenSubKey(sRegRoot + "\\Team MediaPortal\\MediaPortal\\", true);
                if (MediaPortalKey != null)
                {
                    return MediaPortalKey.GetValue("ApplicationDir").ToString();
                }
                else
                    return null;
            }
        }

Hi pilehave, try adding the namespace:

using MediaPortal.Configuration;

Then you can use the Config class to get all of MediaPortal's paths e.g.

string configDir = Config.GetFolder(Config.Dir.Config);

Hopefully that helps you.

If you dont want to use this class, then you need to do as you did above to extract the MediaPortal binary directory then read paths from MediaPortalDirs.xml.

It works as it should, I was already using the Configuration class, so don't know why I overlooked this nice litte function

Probably because there's no API documentation.
